Russia has put out a statement accusing the United States and the United Kingdom of being directly involved in the recent attack on Belgorod. They said that consultants assisted the Kiev regime with the crime. It also looks as if cluster munitions were used to deliberately maximize civilian casualties.
MFA:
British and American consultants were directly involved in organising the terrorist attack on residential areas in #Belgorod, regularly inciting the Ukrainian authorities to commit brutal crimes.

Attacking Belgorod like this is really quite ridiculous. As far as I’m aware, there are no military assets of any significance in Belgorod. Plus, the attack was directed at one of the main civilian areas of the city. I’m far from the only one saying this.
The Ukrainian Army, funded, led and armed by NATO has just bombed the Civilian centre of the Russian city of Belgorod.
They have directly targeted the city centre to kill innocent civilians. There is no military infrastructure here. I've been here myself. This is murder. pic.twitter.com/niWTYR9TB0

It appears as if these people are trying to goad Russia into attacking NATO which they would use to justify a direct confrontation with Russia. It’s insane, but it looks as if these people are willing to destroy the world if they don’t get their way.
The statements coming out of Washington DC are certainly not encouraging and seem to reflect this mindset.
US President Joe Biden has issued a warning, saying American military forces may enter into a direct conflict with Russia if Ukraine loses the war.https://t.co/3wn0jgQPgD pic.twitter.com/j6RiYADi0k

Russia has vowed revenge for these attacks. It is unknown what form that will come in but I would expect some serious attacks on Ukrainian territory over the next few days.
